Lol, I also saw one Link here about 2 dopes from my hometown doing a ill conceived robbery in Denver. Luckily the douchebags were caught. There was a comment something like "Nebraska and Kansas sue Colorado for legalized Cannabis, can Colorado sue Nebraska for dumb-ass thieves" or something, literally LOL'd. Thank goodness I'm no longer there! Peace out, Nebraska

Maybe but you missed the Feds busting almost 2 tons of plants this week...What the hell is really going on???
Only two tons? There is a new story in the Post today about them collecting 22,400 pounds of weed in their raids (which I assume is a continuation of the story about them conducting raids on South East Colorado). 22,400 pounds would be about 11 tons

Plus they then extort the people they just robbed using what they stole as evidence against them. So that's legal terrorism, paid for by tax dollars.

Colorado is tightening restrictions on marijuana edibles
Colorado is tightening restrictions on marijuana edibles
Colorado is rolling out new regulations for retail marijuana packaging sold within the state.
Starting on October 1, all marijuana edibles sold at dispensaries will be marked with a new "universal symbol" warning buyers that the edibles contain THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, reports The Cannabist.
Edible manufacturers will also be banned from using the word "candy" on their packaging. Kid-friendly shapes, like gummy bears and worms, will also be banned.
The new rules were created as a reaction to the increase in the number of children admitted to Colorado hospitals for consuming marijuana edibles.
Only 8 children were admitted to the Children’s Hospital Colorado emergency department for marijuana consumption between 2005 and 2013, prior to recreational sales beginning in the state, Michael DiStefano, the hospital's medical director, told The Denver Post.
In the first half of 2016, 9 children between the ages of 3 and 7 were admitted to the hospital for marijuana consumption, The Denver Post reported in June.
The new regulations also set up equivalency standards for the amount of THC between raw marijuana in "flower" form and retail marijuana products, of which which dispensaries are limited by a Colorado House bill to sell customers up to an ounce.
Though the new rules were drafted after a year of discussion between industry stakeholders and state officials, some edible manufacturers have said that adapting will be costly.
Dan Anglin, the owner Americanna, an edible manufacturer in Colorado, told Forbes that his company spent $100,000 and seven months preparing new candy molds and new packaging. Anglin, however, also said that he's a "firm believer in regulations and safe products."
Jim Burack, the director of the Colorado Department of Revenue's Marijuana Enforcement Division assures the regulations aren't about making selling edibles harder for retailers.
"The No. 1 goal here: It’s about public safety, it’s about public health, and, above all, it’s sensitive to the risk this poses to children," he told The Cannabist.

Ok 11+ tons...What is really going on??? Are we being targeted as a place to grow large scale for groups taking it out of state? Obviously yes. But how large scale is this?
I tend to agree with the need to change the look of edibles so that it doesn't attract children, but a lot of that needs to be put onto whatever moron let them get with-in reach of a kid.
It is a hard thing to face...and the gooberment did it's normal knee-jerk wrong response.

children admitted to Colorado hospitals for consuming marijuana edibles...
...and the standard "treatment" is to have the child chill and watch some spongebob in a quiet location... followed by a nap.
Since I happen to own children, I dont really do edibles unless gifted to me and I eat those immediately...
That said, as someone educated on the plant, I really dont see a single instance of accidental ingestion a situation that requires a fucking EMT.
Non issue in my eyes.
Just more control freaks looking for "problems" to legislate.
It's big enough that the DEA is having a grand time of it where you live & on down the Arkansas river valley.
It's not the kind of place where outsiders blend in easily, not a place where one can hide in plain sight. It's not a place where many people move to & the people are a bit insular, conservative. There's no social cover outside Pueblo & even there not much. You can't say you deliver product, sell insurance or do technical writing for some obscure company in the Tech Center. They'll remember that you always pay cash at the grocery store. They'll notice your comings & goings & that of your associates as well.
For out of state transplant growers, it's a classic case of more balls than brains.
been in the ark valley for 4 years now. we live about 1/2 mile away from 1 of the big raids 4 chopper loads they were trees. they got told no grow zone last year so this year they do illegal 1 inside a 200 by 100 ft wood fence. total waste od tax dollars . and a heads up there will never be seedless weed from the valley any more. the state has let many hemp growers in here and everything is SEEDS BIG TIME . mts might get by but not flat land with water . everyone from lamar to west of pueblo is fucked crazy with hemp seeds

I have actually seen one non-grower growing a male plant in their back yard...They seem to have a group doing this??? I haven't found out much yet about the group...But i have heard others say similar things. Just one lone male out in the open...and yet the pigs don't bug them???
the hemp i think is a 200 dollar permit and they check the thc sometimes . but in La Juanta they took the old wal mart and made it a hemp plant. i just stopped by the place they raided today shit there is buds and seeds all over the road and ditch lol. picked up a bud and tried it was good weed but seedy as fuck you could get 500 per lb if you were lucky. oh well looked good in the paper lol. friend in rocky ford in town his plants are seeded bad but the price for indoor should go up some

"round-up" said in southern cowboy talk.
Although I would opt for orange oil, but saying "orange oil" in southern cowboy talk doesn't sound near as cool.
